We hope every colored citizen
within the radius of our circulation,
will carefully read and ponder well the
truths of Gen. Benj. Butler’s letter, to
he found in another column of the lin
publican this morning.
The gold in the Treasury is now
over $193,000,000, and will probably
reach $200,000,000 within a week or
ten days, as it is the present policy of
the department to hoard gold and to
pay out notes or silver certificates.
On Sunday last Alexander 111, the
Czar of Russia, was crowned at Mos
cow with great pomp and ceremony.
No assassin’s pistol, bomb or dynamite
explosion or other disturbance inter
rupted the grand pageant. But the
history of the sovereigns of that op
pressed country is a history of blood
and crime, and the discontent and tur
bulence of his subjeets is too deep and
widespread to warrant the belief that
the reign of the new Czar will be one of
peace and quiet. By means of the
sword he may hold his subjects in bon
dage for a time, but sooner or later the
thrones of kings and despots will crum
ble oefore the onward march of enlight
enment and civilization.
The Athens Bar rier- Watchman has
the following: “The first public exe
cution ever had in Clarke county was
in what is now a cotton field near
Saye’s mill, in Sandy creek district.
There was no coutt house in the coun
ty, but court was held in a cabin near
the above place, and a man was found
guilty of stealing an Indian pony,
worth S2O, and another named Hodges
was found guilty of harboring the thief,
and both were condemned to death by
hanging. The prisoners had to be
guarded in the cabin in which they
were convicted, and on tlie night before
the day set for their execution the prin
cipal escaped, leaving the accomplice
to pay the penalty of both. The gal
lows was erected hard by the court
house, and was certainly as rude a
structure as was ever known. It was
made by putting up a pole against two
trees and it propped by two leaning
forks—precisely as farmers now do in
hog killing time. Hodges was placed
in a cart, and at a signal the team
moved off, leaving the man swinging.
The grave of the unfortunate man can
now be seen near Mr. John Saye’s.
The late Judge Chas. Dougherty’s
father was sheriff.
A Letter From Elam Johnson.
Mr. Elam Johnson, the senior part
ner of the firm of Elam Johnson,
Son & Cos., commission merchants of
Atlanta, has recently written a letter
to the Dawson Journal giving some
good suggestions to truck farmers in
regard to the shipping of produce,
which they will do well to consider.
This firm gives special attention to
shipments of garden vegetables with
the endorsement of some of tlie best
business men of Atlanta, and their own
personal attention to business. Our truck
farmers cannot serve their interests
better than to give these gentlemen a
trial. We give below the concluding
portion of Mr. Johnson’s letter. He
says:
Four years' experience has made nte
quite familiar with the commission
business, and the relations that the dif
ferent sections sustain to each other. I
find Atlanta the dividing line between
the sections of the state, and it is hard
to tell which section is most dependent
upon the other. This is the grand dis
tributing point for S. W. Ga. and
Florida, and the day is just dawning
for your people, and all they want is
perseveranee. I will only direct them
now how to ship and what to ship.
Ship nothing but good, sound vegeta
bles and fruits, and pack it neatly and
closely so it will not bruise in the crates
or barrels. Ventilate well, If in bar
rels cut several holes in the sides and
both heads. Mark shippers’ name and
consigners’ name on each package, so
the consignee may have no trouble in
crediting it to the owner. We some
times receive two dozen consignments
the same day, and if no mark of distinc
tion is on the package, how can it be
credited to him? If you have inferior
vegetables or fruit feed them to your
stock and you have the benefit of it.
You will not always strike a brisk mar
ket, and if you some times lose money
do not be discouraged and return to cot
ton as the sow to her vomit. Study
will be the best means of diversifying
your truck farms, and as you produce
it, we will endeavor to find increased
markets for it. If there are any points
your people want answered I will take
pleasure in doing so, to the best of my
ability, if you or they will propound
the questions.
Very Respectfully,
Elam Johnson.
The Republican—lts Circulation.
The editor of this paper regrets the
controversy and the unfortunate diffi
culty that has arisen between Mr. Wal
ker, the editor of the Schley County
Department of the Republican, and
‘•Rep,” the correspondent of the Re
corder, in reference to the circulation of
the respective papers in Schley county.
It matters very little to us what the
circulation of the Recorder in that,
or any other county is, but we do not
intend to be misrepresented as to the
circulation of the Republican. The
Recorder in its issue of Friday puts
down the circulation of the Republi
can in Schley county at 115. It did
not give a list of all the post offices in
that county where the Republican is
taken, hence its statement is incorrect.
We will here remark that the number
of copies of the Republican taken in
Schley county is within five of two
hundred, all the statements of the Re
corder, or its correpondent to the con
trary notwithstanding, making the
circulation of the Republican not less
than one-fourtlfmore than the Recor
der according to its own statement.
A call has been issued by the Presi
dent of the United States Christian
Commission for a reunion of all the
members of the commission and the
Federal and Confederate chaplains of
the late war at Ocean Grove, N. J.,
on July 22. The object of the gather
ing, as expressed in the call, is “to
unite the bonds of brotherhood between
the North and the South, which were
so ruthlessly served by the great con
flict. The blue will welcome the gray,
meet on the same platform, shake
hands and rejoice together.” The ex
ercises, which will occupy three days,
will be opened, it is announced, with
an address by a prominent Southern
divine. It is expected that a large
number of ministers from all sections
of the country will be present, <)uite
a number from the Southern States, it
is said, have already signed their in
tention to attend.

HE ADVISES THE NEOROES TO 00 HACK ON
THE REPUBLICAN TARTY.
The Vicksburg (Miss.) Herald
prints tlie following jesuitical letter
from Gov. B. F. Butler to a colored
politician in that State:
Boston, Mass., April 23, 1883.—H.
Carter, Vicksburg, Miss.—Dear Sir:
You are mistaken in supposing that I
have any special knowledge of the con
ditions of political affairs in Missis
sippi, as I only see them at a distance
strained through the medium of the
different political papers; therefore I
cannot speak with particularity about
Mississippi.
You ask me what line of conduct I
would advise the colored men of the
South to pursue in political affairs.
To that I answer frankly, look out for
yourselves. That is to say, vote for
the best men, whose life and conduct
you know well, and who have shown
thereby their desire that equal justice
and equal rights shall come to all men
under the law. Vo matter what prom
ises are made bv political orators, or
what inducements are held out to ob
tain your votes, look to what men have
done and been, and not to what they
say they will do or will be. If a can
didate for office whom you can trust
is in favor of the education of your
children, the equal taxation of your
property, and the protection of your
person by law, vote for him, whatever
he may be called politically. It is a
mistake for the colored voters to vote
for one party solidly, even in localities
where they have the numerical major
ity; but it is equally their duty to vote
for men who will best represent the
interest of all. You live in a commu
nity composed of both white and colored
men, and you want to have a peaceful,
quiet life in that community. There
are good men in both parties, and you
will obtain the respect of every good
man if you will pursue the course I
have indicated. By so doing you will
lull tlie passions and the hard feelings
engendered by the war, and the disap
pointments and regrets, if any, produc
ed by the emancipation of the colored
man will die out. It is of more conse
quence to the colored man that he shall
have peace and prosperity in tlie com
munity where he lives than who is
President, or who is Senator, or Repre
sentative to Congress In a word,
vote for all good, honest and true men
who are now your friends, and vote
against all men who, by their conduct,
have not shown themselves your
friends, however loud or persistent
their promises may he. Remember
that the Holy Scriptures say: “By their
fruits ye shall know them.” 1 am,
very truly yours,
Benjamin F. Butler.
Baldness may be avoided by tbe
use of Hall’s Hair Itenevver, which
prevents the falling out of the hair,
and stimulates it to renewed growth
and luxuriance. It also restores faded
or gray hair to its original dark color,
and radically cures nearly every dis
ease of the scalp.
The Czar of Itnssia has passed safe
ly through two stages of his peril—the
journey to Moscow and the coronation
there. Only the return to St. Peters
burg remains to put him safely over
the danger of this occasion. We hope
that he will be as successful in that
too.
The complexion is often destroyed
by worms. It can be restored by

Letter From Webster.
Weston, Webster, Cos. Ga.,)
May 27th, 1883. f
Editor Republican: Permit a short
note from Webster if you think it
worth its room in your valuable col
umns.
Farmers are up and doing, crops are
fine in the section in which we live,
corn is splendid and in fine growing
order, the stands were never better, cot
ton looks healthy, and growing and in
good order, some are ready to begin to
lay by their corn and make ready for
the charge which General Green in
tends making on their cotton farms
soon. There is good prospects for sev
eral days rain, should it come then ev
ery farmer will want all the recruits
they can get to battle with the Gener
al as there is millions and scores of
young volunteers joining his ranks
daily making ready for battle. So far
as I am concerned 1 am fortifying
against him the best I can, and would
advise every farmer to fort'fy against
him and be ready at the sound of the
battle cry.
Harvesting is just begun, the wheat
is cut generally and we think there
will be at least an average crop raised
according to the area planted.
Some have a tine chance of wheat sown
while others have but little sown, con
sidering everything there will be at
least as much raised as in proceeding
years, as for the oat crop it was never
better, there is a large quantity sown
and they are fine. If no disaster be
falls them it will only lesen the price
of corn in Southwest Georgia and in
crease the hog crop which is much lar
ger than it has been since the war.
We have never seen as many hogs, and
the prospects of a large increase in the
hog crop which will take place in time
to get the benefit of the harvest field.
A few more years of low priced cotton
will fully convince the farmer that he
must raise meat as well as cotton and
corn. I hope to see a day when the
watchword will be, corn, oals, andhogs,
and then as much cotton as we can. In
this pait of the country there is a fine
crop of chufas|and ground peas planted
which will make a hog curl his tail
and prepare him for the slaughter. We
are glad we live in a community of an
enterprising spirit, we have a reaper in
our community which is doing good
work, also a mowing machine ready for
haying when the sun shines.
Some ot our citizens have lost sight
of the no fence or stock law, and have
resorted to the more substantial, wire
fence. I glory in their pluck, we need
something to turn the old fence
brakers, but pieople in reseting old
fences should always set them out in
order to keep their credit, but we do
not think they aught to set the corners
in the public roads.
We have a fine school at Weston,
numbering aliouty sixty-five pupils,
and new scholars coining in at this late
day. Only about five weeks to the
close of this term which speaks well
for Professor (J. E. Grubbs who de
serves the praise, and pat
ronage of all who want to send their
sons and daughters to a first class lit
erary school. He is assisted by Miss
Nellie Nicholson, an accomplished
young lady that has won the affection
of all who are placed tinder her charge.
We can boast of a good community,
good school, good teachers, and good
health. The young men of the village
and surrounding community have a
Debating Society at the academy, they
meet on Friday evening in each week.
The young ladies of this community
will give a festival at the academy in
Weston, at early candle light on the
3lst day of May, for the purpose of
raising funds to inclose the cemetery at
this place.
Died in Weston on the 17th of May,
William T. Tracy, one of our best citi
zens. He was born in South Carolina,
and moved from thence to east Tennes
see where he married, lie resided a num
ber of years there, during the late war
he moved to this county and has been
here ever since, except one or two years
he lived in Stewart county. He was a
devoted husband, a kind father, a good
citizen,and was loved by all who knew
him and made friends every where he
lived. He was a man of great morals
and his example while here with us
would do for us all to adopt. While
his loved ones mourns the loss of an
affectionate companion and a kind fath
er, his neighbors and friends feel that
they too have lost a friend. And we
hope while we have to mourn his loss,
he has heard the welcome applaud,
“well done thou good and faithful ser
vant, enter into the joy of thy Lord.”
Thinking perhaps the reader might
get wearied I will close for the present.
I remain as ever, you friend, B.

who know from experience what “ Ladies’ Regulating Tonic ” can ilo.
Tho great success that this remedy has met with has induced several unscrupulous par
ties to endeavor to imitate its name and style of wrapper. Care should therefore be taken to
see that the word “ Regulating is on wrapper in red ink, and that our name (Women’s

AVo will give SSOO for information and conviction of anv one manufacturing, selling,
buying, or in any way handling any preparation with any of the words, “Ladies’,”

believe that it is our preparation.

'imitations which no makes a larger profit on than our genuine Female Remedy. There is
scarcely a town in the United States where we cannot refer to some lady Avho has been restored
to health bv using our remedy. If it docs not cure you, we will refund the money.
Wo stake our reputation as wives and mothers, and that of our Medical Institution, on
